3" venco pug mill replacement vacumm pump

updated sat 3 mar 01

 

Erik Hertz on tue 27 feb 01


I was hoping someone would know of a US manufacturer of vacuum pumps =
that would have a suitable replacement for the pump that came with my =
venco 3" purchaced in 1991.

or some where i could get a new piston housing (everything but the =
motor) for the vacuum pump.

Mine threw a rod after 10 years of dependable service and damaged the =
piston and cylinder.
Thanks very much
Erik

I know you are looking for US replacements, but really your best
and most reliable help comes from Venco itself. I tried and tried to
fix my 4 inch pugmill using other people's advice--big mistake, and
a waste of time. It wasn't until I went directly to Venco that I was
able to get it working properly with the correct parts. They are in
Australia.

Their email is: Tom Crawford

send it: Attention Geoff Hill

good luck

Just be sure that you tell them where you are, as well as the model
description, because the electrical installation differs from country to
country.
